FHA announced a policy change to address risk and strengthen finances. FHA has changed the minimum credit score for new borrowers:

  • FHA loan requirements new borrowers will now be required to have a minimum credit score of 580 to qualify for 3.5% down payment or 97.75% LTV rate and term refinance
  • FHA loan requirements new borrowers with less than a 580 credit score will be required to put down at least 10% or 90% LTV rate and term refinance
  • This allows the FHA to better balance its risk and continue to provide access for those borrowers who have historically performed well

FHA does not require collection accounts to be paid off as a condition of mortgage approval. However, FHA does recognize that collection efforts by the creditor for unpaid collections could affect the borrower’s ability to repay the mortgage.

If evidence of a payment arrangement is not available, the lender must calculate the monthly payment using 5% of the outstanding balance of each collection, and include the monthly payment in the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio.

Today’s historically low interest rates make now the perfect time to purchase a new home or refinance.

One of the most popular types of mortgages is the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. This loan is usually the easiest to qualify for and provides the maximum interest deduction at tax time. The interest rate stays the same over the life of the loan which provides unchanging low monthly payments.
